On Friday morning, just as news of White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer's resignation was breaking, Ivanka Trump posted a completely unrelated photo on Instagram. Trump posted a throwback photo to her remarks at last summer's Republican National Convention, but her choice to conspicuously publish this photo at such a tumultuous moment made it seem as though Ivanka Trump was intentionally not addressing Spicer's resignation.

It was with the couragement of Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, that the president offered Scaramucci the communications director position on Friday morning, and Spicer resigned after rejecting a position to subordinate to Scaramucci. Trump's support for Scaramucci — possibly at Spicer's expense — therefore seemed to cement the strain in Spicer's relationship with the president and the decline in his role as press secretary.
